Resolution
The sensor resolution describes the minimum, specifiable magnet route change as
output by the sensor.
Sampling rate
The sampling rate indicates the time interval in which the signal is updated at the
outputs.
Speed
When specifying the speed, a distinction is made between “full stroke operation” and
“partial stroke operation”.
In full stroke operation, the piston stroke is less than the measuring range and the
magnet does not leave the measuring range.
In partial stroke operation, the piston stroke is greater than the measuring range and
the magnet leaves the measuring range.
The piston speed is max. 3 m/s and max. 1.5 m/s for full stroke and partial stroke
operation respectively.
Repeatability/Reproducibility
Repeatability/reproducibility is defined as any move to a preset position from the same
direction in every case.
Blind zone
blind zones
Figure 1: Sensor blind zones
The total length of the sensor is slightly longer than its measuring range. The difference
is called the blind zone. The blind zone is 7.5 mm on each side.
Linearity error
The linearity error describes the maximum deviation of the output signal from an ideal
straight line. It is measured in millimeters.
